Malabo is the capital city of Equatorial Guinea
The first things visitors see when they fly into Malabo are the coastal refineries, tankers and oil platforms that surround the capital's harbor. The city is very much an oil town, but it is also a relaxing destination for expatriates looking to relax after long days on the platforms. Although the city lacks many traditional tourist sights, it makes up for it with a friendly vibe and walkable cityscape.
The best way to explore the city is simply to wander through the bustling streets on foot. The eastern side of the capital is dominated by the presidential palace, and Independence Place is at the heart of the city. There, visitors can explore the colonial cathedral built by the Spanish. In the northern part of the city, bays and headlands offer a lovely respite from the sometimes chaotic atmosphere of the city center.
